Surviving Sandy – how to help

The Capital Region was spared a direct hit from superstorm Sandy, though there was minor flooding in Lake George and some areas south of Albany. But much of theEastern Seaboard wasn’t as fortunate. The storm caused devastation in New Jersey and New York City, flooding part of New York’s subway system and inundating the Jersey shore.

One way to help is by donating to the Red Cross. Donations will provide shelter, food, support and other assistance to those affected by the storm. To donate, call 800-Red-Cross, click here, or text the word “Redcross” to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
